I'm new to this,just registered but here goes anyway.My bandit sometimes wont start when cold,has new battery fitted recently,only 7000kms on clock. Needs choke and if it cuts out after starting is very hard to start after, needed a push today,very fed up.Would appreciate any help.

it might be flooding while on the choke, maybe try starting it on half choke or switching the choke off quicker

If i start it on half choke it has a good chance of cutting out and then it is really hard to start,its like it is not getting petrol even though tank half full. It only does this from time to time but very annoying.Today i started it on half choke and it started fine but quickly cut out.

Had same problem with bandit 600, kept cutting out at lights. As Chopper advised, I turned revs to 1500+, also do not rev heavily when you start her up first, let it tick over on its own for a few minutes. I do not use the choke at all unless extremely cold & only then for a minute or 2 - best of luck

Thanks for that,being new to biking i was blaming myself.I have tried starting it on no choke,half choke and i find it starts best if on full choke when cold.I am just back after a spin and she is ticking over at 1400RPM so i will see how it goes.
